TV: Millions of fish dead at Oregon coast — “Craziest thing I’ve ever seen” — “You can’t blame people for being alarmed” — Aquarium: “It kind of looks like the apocalypse… especially big numbers… but this is a sign that anchovies are doing good” (VIDEO)

KGW (Portland, OR), July 29, 2014: Major anchovy die-off stinks up Seaside […] Millions of anchovies have died […] [A]ccording to Seaside Aquarium spokeswoman Tiffany Boothe […] anchovy die-offs aren’t unusual, although this one did seem to have especially big numbers. […] Experts said this odd phenomenon happens about every ten years.

Oregon Public Broadcasting, July 29, 2014: “It kind of looks like the apocalypse,” joked [Boothe.] Unsuspecting visitors and locals not armed with the actual cause of the event found the appearance of the fish coating the banks of the river to be a bit alarming. Several mentioned how “odd” and “creepy” it was to see so many dead anchovies for no apparent reason. One visitor said he had never seen anything like it.

OPB (Blog), July 31, 2014: [It’s] a sign that the anchovy population is actually thriving […] “this is a sign that the anchovies along our coastline are doing good” [said Boothe.]

Latin Post, July 29, 2014: Marine biologists indicate […] when there’s a high tide, an uncommon number of anchovies try to swim upstream, get stranded and either return to the ocean or get eaten by birds, said a report by USA Today. But, [Boothe said] the fish died this week because there wasn’t enough oxygen.

Nature World News, July 29, 2014: Boothe, a representative from Seaside’s Aquarium told local media that this […] mass death is larger than many seen in the past.

KGW Transcript, July 29, 2014: Is it something we really need to worry about? […] When you see it you cannot blame people for being alarmed […] It is all the talk along the coast tonight. >> Watch broadcast here

lived in seaside for almost 20 years and not once did I ever see the banks of the rivers like that,,even after mt st helens blew and covered us in ash.
20 years later nothing could bring me back to the coast, the denial and worship of the beast system is in control top to bottom.

>Millions of dead anchovies washed ashore along the Necanicum River in downtown Seaside on Monday. The anchovies entered the river en masse from the Pacific Ocean.<

I actually think a lot might have been brought in on the tide already dead, then left behind as it slopped and lowered. And hey what's that pink tinge showing in the water? Our loverley C-137 violet/pink? It looks rather like the color we're used seeing on the Tepco live cams and in the water by the plant.

sign of a psychopath; “It kind of looks like the apocalypse,” she joked. Mass death and a smirky non feeling joke in response which is a mind bending opposition to facts; The species mass death is a sign they are doing good. Lets see, what other species could that apply to? Lions? people? wildebeest? sparrows? plankton? yep, mass death, a sign of health

I tried to unfreeze my brainfreeze over that phrase too.. and I think.. maybe.. what she meant by that was- 'wow!!! Look at all that fish !!! This means that we still had this much fish still living in the Pacific ocean to kill off..! Thought they would've been long gone by now! This is positive news !'

On your trip through africa you see thousands of dead lions by the road; driving on you see thousands of dead natives lying in the fields, their crops brown with strange spots. Further on, you see a million bees, all dead. You drive on and dead birds are everywhere on the ground. Finally you make it to the ocean and there are dead fish everywhere, lining the coast. Dead whales are washing ashore.

Quiz Question; The dead animals are a sign of
A) a healthy species
B) an unhealthy or endangered species

"…Another key aspect of an orca’s life — which is missing in captivity — is the ability to swim up to 100 miles per day. When Granny was spotted earlier this week, she had just finished an 800-mile trek from northern California along with her pod. According to animal welfare advocates, long-distance swimming is integral to orcas’ psychological health and well-being; SeaWorld, however, has gone on record claiming that orcas do not need to swim hundreds of miles regularly, ostensibly to defend the parks’ cruel practice of keeping massive, powerful orcas confined to cramped tanks…"https://www.thedodo.com/recently-spotted-103-year-old–547381307.html?utm_source=zergnet.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=zergnet_223347

coastal dead zones, caused in part by algae blooms due to farming runoff which consume oxygen in waters seems to be a big bummer. Make no mistake, its not that theres too many people, its just that they destroy the world and clog up all the nice places

EXCUSE me.. this is the mouth of the Columbia River..you know.the river that runs thru HANFORD WA..you know the HANFORD NUCLEAR DUMP with leaking tanks of toxic gunk and radiation into the groundwater. You dont think……????

Ok Heart , i was just trying to create a situation where things could be cleared up and mutual respect ensured or re-ensured..without it being public property..
Sorry that i got confused to begin with..pls Never tease me..

That high tide cock and bull story does not match the photos. In the photos were straight beach lines, with fish going solid from high tide mark down to the water line, not a tidal pool where they get trapped.

DosDos- Yesterday there was a news article about dead whales floating into a Naval station in Port Huenme, but later the article was changed showing only one whale. I was at work so I didn't archive the first article showing multiple whales floating in the water, When I got home from work the only pic I could find was a cropped photo showing one whale.

Anchovies are said to tolerate a wide range of salinity in water, so they will travel up rivers and into brackish estuaries. Here's a quote from Wikipedia:

"Anchovies are found in scattered areas throughout the world's oceans, but are concentrated in temperate waters, and are rare or absent in very cold or very warm seas. They are generally very accepting of a wide range of temperatures and salinity. Large schools can be found in shallow, brackish areas with muddy bottoms, as in estuaries and bays. They are abundant in the Mediterranean, particularly in the Alboran Sea,[5] Aegean Sea and the Black Sea. The species is regularly caught along the coasts of Crete, Greece, Sicily, Italy, France, Turkey, and Spain. They are also found on the coast of northern Africa. The range of the species also extends along the Atlantic coast of Europe to the south of Norway. Spawning occurs between October and March, but not in water colder than 12 °C (54 °F). The anchovy appears to spawn at least 100 km (62 mi) from the shore, near the surface of the water."

There are three classifications of water, salt, brackish (salt and fresh water mix), and fresh. The mouths of rivers are usually brackish and tide/rain variable on the mix. Saltwater fish can usually survive in brackish water for limited periods of time, specie dependent.

The key is oxygen, how much is in the water and how much the fish can take in through the gills. It could be a too many fish for the available oxygen circumstance, or it could be the water, or it could be the fish not able to extract available oxygen.

The atomic new clear cartels, powered by bullshit, lies and fraudulence. No wonder the little fishes tried to escape. When it happens to humans they WILL wake up. They will be dying for an explanation & so will those whom are the destroyers of world's. Is there a parable in this?

All those rotting methane producing fishies could power a bio methane converter to power a power station without causing an ELE (extinction level event). Sadly not, so it will just go up into the air causing global warming.

Meanwhile the ebola virus continues to baffle many, unaware that the virus can live outside of the human body for an extended period of time, spreading it's joy.

Hi Jump-ball, 'Newsers, I checked-in early this morning (PST) and tried to get in to Enenews ing (PST) and could't even open the main/homepage ("not found"). I thought it might be on my end, but it didn't appear that way. I'm glad its up and running. Approx. how long was Enenews down??

Thanks Admin for your ongoing fight to preserve Enenews and the network of 'Newsers. Truth will out!!!

Ok try again. I guess I am speechless after all. All this death, all the suffering. I have felt it since the Gulf spill millions of tortured creatures basically disregarded as anything commercially important, like the many tiny ingredients for the building blocks of life, that are not viable for corporate cost effectiveness; and thus can be disregarded. The rotten stench of the approaching wave of death will of course be all the taxpayers fault and we will have to pay to "clean it up". But entirely nothing will ever actually get done. This blatant disregard to nature's support systems will soon be felt sorely as persistent pangs of hunger globally.

My father had to go to the hospitable today since sr90 got into his knee replacements and they are both swelling like watermelons. They gave him an xray and found that there seems to be something starting to enter everyone' bones; oh wait that i why they cut the fish bones out… then test the meat with no ligaments so cesium and sr90 would be lower and they test photochemical plants like kelp (especially kelp) since it knows how to fight radiation its self and also it grows faster than any other so if you have a growth factor + bio vit well kelp gonna keep looking clean and everyone gonna be so PERPLEXED.. though in reality the "Agency's" 'already know'.

If you fine radon gas then radium is around
same clue should go with all decay chains.
gases radioactive come from somewhere don't they?
of course from higher up the chain. tritium would take the
mechanized oxygen in the water; when NPP do releases especially san diabolic canyon then you lose huge amounts of local oxygen that then creates a dynamic flow and the oceans oxygen becomes dispersed losing density so density of organisms becomes ever less
and when they do run from what they can understand and see as BAD. Then they take up local oxygen and upset the local environments once you upset local then your micros are not creating the macro that it was and the system turns the other away around and I am positive we are sacrificed the Pacific just to let humans have some more time.

Some things in life I see
I don't understand
Sometimes I miss the point
To things that they've planned
I know dead fish don't swim home
When the seas get left alone
When things don't go as well
As they would have planned
The big fish lose control
Big fish on the land
I know dead fish don't swim home
When the seas get left alone
I know dead fish don't swim home
When things go wrong
The big fish sound the alarm
Potential dangers lead
To potential calm
I know dead fish don't swim home
When the seas get left alone
They play their games with toys
They welcome a war
When will the big fish learn
Just what life is for
I know dead fish don't swim home
When the seas get left alone
I know dead fish don't swim home

0.25 mg Sr/g Ca what this is saying is your body is mistaking sr90 or 89 for calcium and as the concentration increases then the calcium density or your bone mineral density (BMD) test is the best way to determine your bone health. The test can identify osteoporosis, determine your risk for fractures (broken bones), and measure your response to osteoporosis treatment. The most widely recognized BMD test is called a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, or DXA test.

See they invited these swords (two edged ones) and it was told along time ago they would lose to their own power and creation of destruction then it was also told that the meek and humble would inherit the world and tear the flesh off the beast (the governing of governments) meaning we will fight till we have no more calcium left!

I live in an area that has an abundance of squirrels, black birds, blue jays, and cardinals. Usually the squirrels are running up and down the trees and scurrying around on the ground checking their stash of nuts. They do this for most of the year except for 2-3 months during the winter when they disappear. I suppose they hibernate. I know very little about squirrels. I don’t know where they nest or where they bury their dead. They make an awful noise if one of their comrades gets hit in the street. I noticed about 4-5 months ago the squirrels have disappeared. None except the one that cruised across my patio with a white striped tail. I have never seen that before. I tried to ignore the situation thinking maybe the rascals had blackballed my house. A couple of days ago my neighbor who has a pecan tree in her front yard told my wife she could not figure why the squirrels where not around her pecan tree. This is the time of the year they are frantically digging in the yards storing their booty. The pecan tree is dropping pecans but no squirrels. Every time I see the squirrels digging and hiding their acorns, I’m reminded of the commercial with the squirrels inside the tree trunk and all those posits. This area has some nice fat black birds. They are as ugly as sin on the ground but when they get into the air they really are sight to watch. They will show after a yard mowing. They find many worms and insects. They go strutting out across the yard like they owned the place.

JAR I have less squirrels too. I never thought of it before, They are here, but maybe a tenth of the number im sued to. in the past they are like laurel and hardy, or even the three stooges, so silly and antagonistic with each other. So many less squirrels. you are right.

This year there are no black birds. I see a few in the air but they do not light on the ground. The blue jays usually fly in and chase the other birds out of the birdbath. Blue jays don’t churp they make that noisy squawking sound. I have not seen one blue jay. Two days ago I had an exterminator come out to place bait for la cucarachas. Out of the blue he told he had seen some black and white cucarachas. He said he had never seen that before. I’m hoping this is not all over the city but is an isolated area. Except for the noisy UPS trucks this place is getting very quiet.

Hi all, missed you,
Just wanted to take a moment to thank our new newser MBHP for making everything perfectly clear. I do have trouble following run on, stream of consciousness input. Kinda hypnotic.
Think I understood one byte, though. In his Aug 1.12:46 pm post on the thread about the Santa Cruz fish die off, MBHP wrote "…. you
can feed radiation to plants and then the
plants to the meal worms and then brew the
frass to make an extremely abundant system
of microbes and organic elements we also
have been able to change the land
contamination from hazardous levels to less
hazardous".
All clear to me now: that's whoremesis with nowhere near enough lipstick on 'er.
I wouldn't click on any of your links.
What lies hidden behind your avatar this time? Or is it in the text; just an atom of malware per character? That why you post so much nonsense?
Thanks for your input, give my best to the new psy-op team and "don't lose neural connectivity on your way out the door
Frass! indeed.

While it is possible that MBHP fits the mold, I think maybe the condemnation has been too hasty. I have only seen the posts from MBHP in this thread regarding Strontium so those are the only posts that I can speak to. I clicked on every link and read every document. They are very measured articles and studies regarding Strontium.

MBHP linked multiple pdfs demonstrating that radioactive strontium was absorbed into the teeth and the bones of children during above ground atomic tests resulting in increased cancers.

MBHP also linked studies showing that fires re-introduce radioactive strontium and other isotopes to the air and land and introduces the discussion of the dangers to the firefighters.

The other articles discuss the studies that indicate that supplementing nutrition with stable strontium strengthens bones and decreases osteoporosis and decreases the associated pain. But, if you continue the entire thread of the links, it speaks very responsibly about not just adding dangerous levels of stable strontium through supplements due to serious side effects. But, supplementing with Strontium as well as Calcium and Vitamin D along with some additional suggested supplements will assist at fighting what we have all been collectively exposed to.

Brainheart, Thanks for your measured comments. I'm undecided on the matter of whether MBHP "fits the mold", but I agree we should not be too hasty. I admit to having a knee-jerk, visceral negative reaction to the supplementing with Strontium. But I also haven't read the articles (and their sources, funding), which I'm better assured of now that I know they won't lead to viruses or other nasties.

For my own peace of mind, I'll need to review past posts and weigh future posts. IMO, these types seem to always "out" themselves eventually. So watchfulness seems to be in order, for me, for now.

Sparky my friend,
Regarding moldy MBHP:
Read his posts. They don't GO anywhere. No new tools we can use. No there there. There. This is by design. They are running NLP- Neuro-Linguistic Programming. It is a powerful psychotherapy technique based on hypnosis or trance states. Popular also with MBA's AND salespeople! Apparently nuke vacuum shredder salesmen like it too. Not an expert but here's the steps:
1) Babble a little till target stops actively comprehending. 2) Establish resonance— give target ambiguous feedback and reassurance: notice how MBHP echoed signature phrases and concepts of regular posters; for example it said something about 'sum of the parts' (Jebus). There are lots of those. 3)Insert new concepts and ideas. NLP can be very good in loving hands,
or a sadistic violation of spirit.
His links SEEM on point? So what? They would have to. Building resonce and 'trust'. I (and maybe Admin- see his comment after the darkness lifted)- I think they might be trying some hacking with the links. Wear a condom if you click.
Lastly, MBHP is a lame parody of Enenews, meant to demean. That's a non-starter. Actually MBPH is what the troll would sound like if he were anti-nuke. Just as useless to us as he is to all things nuke….

Also, regarding MBPH: Googled that on wiki. Forget the steps but I got MBPH> Fortran>speed coding. I know Fortran is old, but maybe it's been re-tooled,supercharged. With a little plutonium, maybe? Maybe a reason for MBPH's huge amount of babble. A small amount of malware in each character?
Maybe our IT savvy Newsers can take it from here.

Apologies to all for being flip; blame too much strong coffee, i seem to be a bit unhinged tonight.

I would think these divers and observers up and down the coast do have some inkling of the *cause*.

Newspapers never really report everything the locals are REALLY thinking and saying on the docks, in the stores and taverns…at work. Not everyone is as baffled by the situation as media makes them out to be.

Today is one day closer to the day of *Fukushima's radiation* talk being as common as the latest *Oh no, who's got cancer now? Sorry to hear that.* gossip.

lets look at the current situation with great concern….WE wonder if every tragedy that now occurs has a silver lining for those who wrapped up in the great over population concern.We nay not care about our fellow human beings but certainly we have to care about The ocean and Planckton and food chain and methane in the atmosphere
